Idea

The notion of monoid (or monoid object, algebra, algebra object) in a monoidal (infinity,1)-category CC is the (infinity,1)-categorical generalization of monoid in a monoidal category.

Definition

For CC a cartesian monoidal (∞,1)-category with a monoidal structure determined by the (∞,1)-functor

p :C N(Δ) op p_\otimes : C^\otimes \to N(\Delta)^{op}

a monoid object of CC is a lax monoidal (∞,1)-functor?

N(Δ) opC N(\Delta)^{op} \to C^\otimes

This generalizes how, for monoidal categories, monoid objects are the same as lax monoidal functors

*C. * \to C \,.

A generalization to the case that the monoidal (∞,1)-category CC is not Cartesian is discussed in Section 4.1.3 of Higher Algebra.
